3-D vs. Real Life

Microsoft rolled out their google earth competitior @ http://maps.live.com/

There is a great write up about the software here.

One of the coolest features is the amount of buildings that are rendered in 3-D.

The old Synagogue on Elmhurst at 14th st.

The former Miller-Strom Real Estate office at Elmhurst and Linwood.

All in all, not too bad… Thumbs up to Microsoft….
